[net.sf-lovers] Forbidden Planet was original???

	Now, don't get me wrong - I love Forbidden Planet.  I have
	a videotape of it.

	But the story was far from original.  Ever read Shakespeare?
	The original script (published once in a special issue
	of CINEFANTASTIQUE, I believe) was a direct steal of THE TEMPEST.
